An exciting new partnership is being set up between St Mary's Headington, an open catholic church ministering in a diverse local community, and the open evangelical city centre church of St Aldates. St Mary's will be welcoming at least 2000 new people into a new housing development in the parish which has encouraged them to consider an innovative approach to this mission opportunity.
They are seeking a priest who will:
- encourage the congregation to grow in faith with God through preaching, worship, teaching, prayer and service to the community;
- work strategically and innovatively to engage with the established community as well as the residents of the new homes;
- value working creatively with the support of the St Aldates staff team;
- have a heart for community ministry in an urban priority area.
